Bryan has also revealed that shooting will begin in April and that he can't wait to bring the star-studded ensemble from both the last film and previous X-Men movies together.

"It's a big movie. It'll be the biggest movie I've ever made. I got the impression that everyone was kind of excited to come back," he said.

"The actors from X-Men: First Class are contracted to, but the ones I've spoken to are very enthusiastic. Jen's very excited, I'm with Nick these past few days and he's excited, and Hugh, Ian, Patrick, Anna - they remember we felt very good about those first two X-Men films back then.

"I think there's a good feeling about all of us working together again, and I'm very excited to work with the new cast members as a director as opposed to just a producer," he added.

You have a tendency to rest on your laurels when you have lots of free time. A demanding schedule forces you to step up your game. If your energy starts to flag, make time for daily exercise. It seems counterintuitive, but moving your body can actually refresh you. Working with a partner is strongly advised. A collaborator will attend to practical matters.More
